What's this?

Hi, I don't know where else to post this, so forgive me. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me what technique Joe Satriani is using around the 00:30 mark [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah-y6Xfk2Tg[/ame] . Thanks for your time!

I think the guy channeling Satriani's inner spirit in that video is tapping starting right about the 30 second mark.

Is that actually tapping or hammer on/pull offs?

It's more tapping than anything else. His right hand is crossed over to mute the strings as he releases them. But there's some HO/PO going on there as well.

"That guy" is Joe Satriani. He's not channeling anything.

FFX has it right, it's a mute with the right and hammer and pull offs...

It's still one of the coolest sounding licks I've ever heard
